proclamation announcing that they had pro-
vie,onnllv nssumed tbe function OF administra-
tion and calling unon the people al Paris to
eloct Government on the next dny. By SUBJ
seouent decreos however. this election was
deferred 10 March 28. efforts being made in tho
interim to induce the Versailles Assembly to
sanction It. As this endorsement was refused.
Mr.. washburne denounces the election as
"a perfect farce, without a shadow OF le-
oalityn though ho admits that 10000
votes were cast, It il hard for un-
prejudiced readers to understand how
IL can be said Of the Communal Assembly.
which had such a body Of voters behind It, that
Il .in no manner represented the people Of
Parisn Equally unreasonable seems the de-
rision with which Mr.. Washburne refers to the
assertion Of the reyolutionists, that the Yer.
sallles Assembly was monarchical and reac-
tionary. and wished to overthrow the republic
The truth OF that assertion was to be suffi-
ciently horne ont nv the acts OF that Assembly.
and ia now undisputed. Under date OF March
40 Mr.. Washburne allows his sympathy
for the yersaillists to lead him into an histori-
cal error "Althoupb.n he savs. the Com.
